A Demon's Journey

After an hour or so, Nudar reached the entrance of the Underground Labyrinth of the Demons.

Margeria kept Dylan and Camille occupied and prevented them from entering the Labyrinth. She wanted Nudar to join their group before they all entered this labyrinth together.

Nudar came flying down from the skies with a serene smile. His angelic wings revealed his identity and caught Dylan's attention.

Soon, Camille also stared in Nudar's direction and was startled to see such a handsome man flying towards them. She noticed the wings on his back and understood that this was actually a Celestial!

Meanwhile, Margeria was trying to contain her excited heart as she stared at Nudar's flying figure. However, it wasn't just her heart that was excited.

Her entire body heated up, and her pussy twitched in anticipation. It went without saying that just a look at Nudar made Margeria wet.

"Hello, I am Nudar… Umm. What's your name?" He asked rather kindly.

He had his own reasons to stay kind to Dylan. He was curious about Dylan's fate energy, and he had already seen the results of how it worked if an individual was antagonistic to him.

He now intended to see how this fate energy would respond to anyone Dylan saw as a reliable ally.

He would arrange his future actions correspondingly.

"I-I am Dylan," Noticing that Dylan was rather nervous, Camille stepped up and spoke out, "I am Camille. His name is Dylan, and her name is Margeria. We live in a nearby village and have come to investigate this strange cave."

Camille was worried that Dylan would say something that would reveal their true identity.

She believed that the man ahead of her was a Celestial, which meant that he belonged to the Lamhilhan Theocracy. Maybe one of the great clans. It would be best if they concealed the fact that they belonged to the Glerian Kingdom.

Nudar was amused and thought 'A decent story. But unfortunately, you can't fool me with it. I have been following you all this time.'

However, Nudar's expression remained solemn as he responded, "I see. I arrived here because I sensed this cave's rather terrifying demonic energy."

"Demonic Energy?!" Camille and Dylan exclaimed at the same time.

"That's correct. This is most likely an Underground Labyrinth of the Demons," Nudar nodded before pointing in Margeria's direction, "She must have realized it."

Dylan frowned slightly as he stared in Margeria's direction, "Why didn't you inform us about it, Margeria?"

A scowl appeared on Margeria's face as she responded coldly, "Don't forget our relationship, Dylan. You should refer to me as your Master."

Dylan was a little confused by Margeria's grimace. He didn't understand why she seemed a bit irritated.

However, he concluded that Margeria must be reluctant to talk to him openly in front of a stranger. Moreover, this was a Celestial. She probably wanted to maintain the pride and respect of the Celestials.

With that, a smile appeared on his face as he asked Margeria, "Why did you not inform us, Master?"

Margeria seemed satisfied with those words and explained, "It's just a bit of Demonic Energy. I didn't feel it was necessary to mention it. The demons inside can't be too strong."

Nudar spoke up, "That's correct. But the number of these demons is too great. And I can sense a dense demonic energy from an Artifact."

"Hmph. It might be something dangerous for you, but it's trash in my eyes. Before losing my body, I was an Archangel. What is your rank?" Margeria spoke with a hint of pride in her voice.

Nudar appeared amused as he heard those words. He understood what Margeria was doing. She was trying to make Dylan and Camille think that Margeria was superior to Nudar.

Margeria had some idea of what Azaroth wanted from Dylan, and she was helping him achieve his aim.

Nudar soon responded with a shocked tone, "I am merely a Celestial in-training. I received a great opportunity to enter the Holy Sanctuary where I was gifted the Wings of an Angel."

"Hmm. I see," Margeria spoke. She then turned towards Dylan and sent him a spiritual message, "He is a 5 Star Warrior. However, his Celestial Powers are probably stronger than mine at this moment. It would be great if he joined us. We will swipe everything in that labyrinth."

Dylan seemed rather interested in this idea. He glanced at Camille to discuss this matter with her, and he was astonished to see her peeking at Nudar from the corner of her eyes and blushing madly.

Dylan studied Nudar carefully and reluctantly admitted that whether it was his body or his face, it was absolutely flawless.

However, if Dylan thought he had the final say in it, then he was wrong.

Margeria immediately turned towards Camille and spoke, "You don't mind if he joins us, right?"

Camille responded absent-mindedly, "No, I don't mind."

And thus, the four walked near the entrance of this Underground Labyrinth of the Demons.

The gate was remarkably large. It covered the entire opening of this Labyrinth.

Before even touching the gate, Nudar knew that a spatial barrier existed around it.

'I can dispel this Spatial Barrier, but how would Dylan have accomplished it? How could he have opened it?'

He glanced in Dylan's direction and sensed nothing extraordinary around him.

"Let's try to open this gate together," Nudar suggested to Dylan.

Now that Nudar was seeking his assistance, Dylan couldn't really reject him, or else Camille and Margeria would have looked down on him. He stepped forward with a serious look on his face.

He was about to touch the door when suddenly, they heard a voice in their heads, "Don't touch it!"

Nudar's eyes widened upon hearing that voice. That voice belonged to an elf. And when he heard that voice, he realized that the individual was near their position!

Nudar couldn't believe that an elf had managed to conceal himself from his senses for so long!

Moreover, this elf actually spoke just before Dylan's hands were about to touch the spatial barrier!

'I truly can't underestimate that Fate Energy. It's working properly even after I took one of his women,' Nudar thought somberly.

The voice emerged from a tree, and Nudar now noticed that the tree was merely an illusion. It was actually a Wood Elf who rooted himself to that spot and created an illusion of a tree so that he could hibernate peacefully.

What Nudar found absolutely inconceivable was the timing when this wood elf woke up. It was just before Dylan's death or him suffering a grave injury.

And since this Wood Elf was in hibernation, his aura was completely masked by the world. Even Nudar couldn't detect this Wood Elf without using his Mystic Eyes of Perception.

And Nudar never used his Mystic Eyes of Perception randomly. He used it when he wanted to investigate something.

Clearly, the tree didn't give him a bad feeling, so he didn't use his Mystic Eyes of Perception.

At that moment, the Wood Elf moved forward and spoke out, "I am Jander, a wood elf who has lived here for a long time."

He then bowed to Nudar and Margeria, "I am truly honored to meet Celestials here."

Nudar's eyes narrowed at those words as he thought 'I see. He intervened because he sensed a Celestial's presence. Even if I weren't here, Margeria's presence would have made him intervene.'

"Alright, speak up. What do you know about this cave? Why are there so many demons living here?" Nudar asked with a somber tone.
